I would place a small wager that if the local Muslim group erected a mini minaret with a loudspeaker that called people to prayer 5 times a day on public property, the Christians would certainly have a thing or two to say.

Rufus Lee King:Listen, if that sodding git, or whatever term they use over there, is 82 years old, he must have witnessed first-hand the things that Nazis were doing. He wants to act like one of them?

That's funny considering the Nazis' embraced Christianity when they came into power and Hitler realized he could never replace it with German pseudo-mysticism.

Gott Mit Uns means God is With Us. The Nazis convinced their supporters that they were the divine instrument of God on earth, intended to wipe the Jewish plague from creation. (I believe the phrase "They Reject the Christ and I hate them" was used during the Wannase Conference by a German law minister.)

Shmopee:Oliver Twisted: CheatCommando: Shmopee: jso2897: Itstoearly: Mr. Coffee Nerves: Is Village Atheist an appointed or elected position?

It's the new politically correct term for "village idiot"

Yes, of course. Unlike religion, atheism isn't an ironclad guarantee of not being an asshole.

The snark! It burns! +1 to you, sir.

I say we try to be a little more understanding of the poor oppressed Christians. I mean anyone who practices ritual symbolic cannibalism to appease their zombie God is already a little bit "special" right?

You need to study up on religion if you want your snark to be accurate. "Zombie God"? Give that one some thought.

John 3:10 "I and the Father are one"I Corinthians 15:4 "He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said."

Jesus said I am Lord and then rose from the dead after three days... I'd say "Zombie God" about covers it...

Thanks. You spared me a fair amount of typing. It is hilarious to watch Christians clutch their pearls when you treat their beliefs with the same respect they give to every other religion in the world.

You know maybe this guy is right, maybe the cross shouldn't have been placed in a public area and should have remained on church grounds, but it's kinda hard taking the moral high-road when you're trashing someones property.
